you've been voting for aid to egypt ever since you got to the united states senate. it's been the second largest recipient of united states ate. are they earning that aid right now? >> no. just the opposite. first of all, why did we give them that aid? it is because of the camp david accords, the peace between egypt and israel. we felt that was to our economic advantage, our national security advantage, and so we were willing to give some aid to egypt for that. but now the situation is that they aren't acting like the camp david accords would imply that they should act, and under those circumstances, it seems to me that they should not get the aid. i feel a little bit the same way about pakistan, because they -- they imprisoned that doctor. they gave us the information to get to bin laden and so we shouldn't be giving aid for people that aren't our friend. >> but what do you do in a situation like egypt where that is the -- that was the will of the people, they elected a government that isn't very friendly to the united states and yet we do need them for our security
